It all began 40 years ago to the day. October 9, 1970 marked what would be the beginning of a storied love affair British Columbians would have with a team they could finally call their own: the Vancouver Canucks. The inaugural game, which was broadcast live across Canada, had all the glitz and glam of a Hollywood movie premiere, complete with a red carpet centre ice ceremony with the Stanley Cup featuring BC Premier W.A.C. Bennett, Vancouver Mayor Tom Campbell, Chief Dan George, former Vancouver Millionaires superstar Cyclone Taylor and NHL president Clarence Campbell, alongside the British Columbia Beefeater Band. Since then, the Canucks have hosted everyone from Wayne Gretzky to the Queen of England. The Vancouver Canucks 40th Anniversary, presented by Chevrolet, HSBC Bank Canada, Playnow.com and Save-On-Foods, is a season long celebration that will honour the most significant Canuck players and events since the inception of the team. Throughout the 2010.11 hockey season, the Vancouver Canucks, alongside their fans, will celebrate the 40-year history of the franchise on each game night. The history of the franchise will be re-told through the 40 Stories-40 Nights initiative, allowing the club to engage its fans in-arena, online, on television and in print publications with the lasting memories that we all share as Canucks fans. A Ring of Honour will also be launched this season and is intended to celebrate and salute Canuck heroes who have made

a lasting impact on the franchise. This ongoing initiative will see four members inducted this season beginning on Tuesday, October 26th when the Canucks host the Colorado Avalanche. The first to be inducted in the Ring of Honour will be the Canucks first captain, former Head Coach and an active member of the Canucks Alumni, Orland Kurtenbach. Each Ring of Honour Night will include an on-ice presentation, a video tribute and the unveiling of a permanent in-arena display. The Vancouver Canucks will retire longtime captain Markus Naslund’s #19 to the rafters at Rogers Arena on Saturday, December 11th when the Canucks host the Tampa Bay Lightning. Naslund retired from the NHL following the 2008.09 season as the Canucks all-time leader in points with 756. Naslund played 12 of his 15 NHL seasons in a Canucks uniform and was the captain between 2000.01 and 2007.08. In a Canucks uniform, Naslund led the team in scoring for a club record seven seasons, scored 30 or more goals six different times and enjoyed three consecutive seasons with 40 or more goals. A number of additional surprises will be unveiled throughout the season to make every game this season at Rogers Arena unique and memorable. It will be a year to reminisce and celebrate and to look forward as the new team takes to the ice. It will be a season forever remembered by Canucks fans – there won’t be a night one will want to miss.

AbOUT THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS AlUMNI
Despite the fact that the Vancouver Canucks didn’t enter the NHL until 1970, the Alumni group was conceived in 1952 by the Canucks of the Western Hockey League. The alumni began with Hall of Famers Babe Pratt and Cyclone Taylor, who organized a benefit game for a local amateur player whose wife had become seriously ill. This eventually grew into the BC Hockey Benevolent Association (BCHBA) – a registered non-profit society – designed to assist former players and their families who had fallen on hard t mes. Since that t me, the scope of the BCHBA has broadened and over the next four decades, the group has expanded and has raised over $2 million for charity.

The group is unique in that former pros are welcome, not just ex-Canucks.

The bottom line is that the Canucks Alumni have the luxury of being able to ice not just one, but two teams at any given t me.

HOw TO fIGURE
AssIsT An assist is awarded to the player or players (max mum of two) who touch the puck prior to the goal, provided no defender plays or possesses the puck in between. GAME pLAYED A player receives credit for playing in a game if: i) he steps on the ice during t me played or; ii) serves any penalty. GAME-wINNING GOAL After the final score has been determined, the goal which leaves the winning club one goal ahead of its opponent is the game-winning goal (example: if Team A beats Team B 8-3, the player scoring the fourth goal for Team A receives credit for the game-winning goal). GOAL A goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring club to touch the puck prior to the puck entering the net. GOALs AGAINsT AVERAGE Multiply goals allowed (GA) by 60 and divide by minutes played (MINS). GOALTENDER A goaltender receives a “W” for a win in regulation, overt me or shootout; an “L” for a loss in regulation; or an “OT” for a loss in overtime or shootout. pENALTY KILLING pERCENTAGE Subtract the total number of power play goals allowed from total number of short-handed situations to get total number of power plays killed. Divide the total number of power plays killed by the total number of short-handed situations. pLUs/MINUs A player receives a “plus” if he is on the ice when his club scores an even-strength or shorthand goal. He receives a “minus” if he is on the ice for an even-strength or shorthand goal scored by the opposing Club. The difference in these numbers is considered the player’s plus/minus statistic. pOwER pLAY GOAL A goal scored by a club while it has a manpower advantage due to an opponent’s penalty. Following are some examples of what is and is not considered a power play goal: • if a club has an advantage on a minor penalty starting at 2:02 of the period and it scores at 4:02, the goal is not a power play goal. • if a club scores on a delayed penalty, the goal is not a power play goal. • if a club has an advantage due to a five minute major or match penalty, that club is always credited with having one more advantage than the number of power play goals it scores during that advantage, because the penalty does not expire. A new advantage begins after each power play goal. For example, if Team A scores three goals during a major penalty, it is credited with four advantages. • if a club is on a power play for any length of t me, it is considered to have had an advantage. • if a minor penalty is incurred by a club on a power play due to a major penalty, a new advantage is given to that Club when its minor penalty expires, provided the opponent’s major penalty is still in effect. pOwER pLAY pERCENTAGE Total number of power play goals divided by total number of power play opportunities. sAVE pERCENTAGE Subtract goals allowed (GA) from shots against (SA) to determine saves. Then divide saves by shots against. sHOOTING pERCENTAGE Divide the number of goals scored by the number of shots taken. sHORTHAND GOAL A goal scored by a club while it is at a manpower disadvantage. The same cases apply for shorthand as for power play goals, but in the opposite manner. sHOT ON GOAL If a player shoots the puck with the intention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goaltender not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a “shot on goal”. sHUTOUT If two goaltenders combine for a shutout, neither receives credit for the shutout. Instead it is recorded as a club shutout. TENTHs Of A sECOND If a penalty or goal occurs in the last minute, the t me is rounded off to the previous second (ex: if a penalty is called with 12.4 seconds left in a period, the t me is indicated as 19:47 and not 19:48.) wINNING pERCENTAGE Multiply the total number of games played by two to find the total amount of possible points available then divide by total amount of points obtained. COACHEs RECORD A coach receives a “W” for a win in regulation, overt me or shootout; an “L” for a loss in regulation; or an “OT” for a loss in overtime or shootout.
** NOTE: No individual skater/goaltender statistics apply for the shootout
